A loan helped to purchase dried fish, dried shrimp, and oysters.


Khadidiatou's story

Khadidiatou is 48 years old and lives with her husband and their three children, one of which is a student.

For almost a decade, she has been selling seafood, such as dried shrimp, smoked fish, and dried oysters. She purchases these products at the fishing pier and sells them by the kilogram at the market. Her business allows her to manage a large part of her family's needs.

She is asking for a Kiva loan to increase her stock of goods.

Her dream is to become a big shopkeeper.

Translated from French by Kiva volunteer Kayla Sanger.
